1998 Dodge Avenger ES 2dr Coupe

Review

A great car that is very fun to drive. The 6 cylinder sounds good, but I wish late 90's cars such as these made more power. However, if you treat this car well, keep it maintained routinely, it will run reliably and look awesome!

Favorite Features

The Avenger looks great, stock muffler sounds good, the suspension is good, and all-around is an awesome car! Also, easy to modify and add on to. Acceleration is powerful and distinct. The car looks fast and sometimes sounds like it could be faster than it is. The paint colors are nice too.

Suggested Improvements

The automatic transmission was pretty much a dud for many of these cars. Many plastics on this car have issues (headlights fog with UV haze, interior center console plastic cracks and breaks). I wish the V6 made closer to 200 horses, to make up for my stock Avenger only getting about 15 mpg.
